Over the Hills to Nugget
Summary
By late afternoon the next day, they had gone 12 or 15 miles from Skillet Gulch. They were long, warm, jiggly miles. All day, the sun burned down through a yellow hole in the sky. The hills and mountains marched on and on; some of them with white heads, some with their arms full of trees. Ernie Brett never could have guessed what surprises lay in store for his family when his father moves them from the shanty mining camp of Skillet Gulch over the hills to Nugget to settle on a new ranch. Set in the high Rocky Mountains of Colorado Territory during the gold rush years, this novel explores some of the risks, hardships, joys, and pastimes of the era. Through hard work and ingenuity, Ernie and Papa are able to provide for the family and improve the farm. When tragedy strikes, will the Bretts have the courage to stay on their beloved ranch?

Cherokee Strip: The Race for Land
Summary
It’s going to be “the biggest hoss race in the world”! Homesteaders are set to race on horseback, in gigs and wagons, and even by train to stake their claim in the Cherokee Strip, the last bit of Oklahoma territory opened for settlement in 1893. Nearly 100,000 settlers will simultaneously try to claim a quarter section of the six-and-a-half million acre piece of land, but not all will succeed. For 15-year-old Becky Fletcher and her family, it's the Promised Land: their last chance for a farm they can live on free and clear. But no journey to the Promised Land is without trials, and the Fletchers soon run into setbacks. Each difficulty tests Becky’s inclination to further her own and her family's interests at all costs. But the kindness and honesty her parents practice pulls her another way. With the stakes so high, each decision Becky and her family make will have direct consequences for their future happiness.
